Pre-Trib Portals - WICKEDNESS EVERYWHERE

 Pre-Trib Portals – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2023/03/20/pre-trib-portals/ My attention is incessantly drawn to the increasing wickedness that, within just the past few years, seems to have invaded our reality. By this, I mean that nothing now seemsto be as near to “normal” as things were, say, in 2020. My own human thoughts interject that it’s because my 97-year-old mom died early that year. Her passing made everything darker from losing the Lord’s brightness within herthat illuminated my path. She gave me my Scripture for life, written in the front leaf of the Bible she gave me when I was very young: Trust in the lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5–6) Forgetting for a brief time to use that biblical flashlight Mom had handed me as a youngster, during the natural mourning process when she passed away, things did look notto be as life had been before. But that other light within (the Holy Spirit, not my human thoughts) soon turned on within my consideration the Proverbs 3: 5–6 truth—the light Kathleen James-Basse left behindin February, 2020, when Heaven became a brighter abode than ever. So, it isn’t anything personal affecting my life that gives this world a sense of increased strangeness and malevolence. There is most definitely a supernatural aura aboutlife today that wasn’t there before–and it’s not from the good side of that other dimension. My attention is incessantly drawn to the increasing wickedness that seems to have within just the past few years invaded our reality, because the Holy Spirit prompts my spiritthat there is indeed an invasion taking place. The other dimension this invasion is coming from is what I call “pre-Trib portals.” I use this term because the demonic activity that God’s Word says will prevail during the Tribulation (the last seven years leading to Christ’s return) seems to already beseeping, maybe even flooding, into our reality even now. Therefore, there is a pre-Trib intrusion into our time before the Rapture of the Church. This, I’m convicted, is all in preparation for the Antichrist regime of horror Jesus said will be the worst periodof human history (Matthew 24:21). Satan is trying to set the stage upon which his son of perdition will step when believers are taken off the earth and the “covenant with many” of Daniel chapter 9 is confirmed by “the prince that shall come.” In America, this preparation has been taking place for many decades. I believe it began in earnest shortly after the twentieth century began. It has accelerated swiftly andis now at full throttle. My friend Michael Hile, in an article, presented a record of this invasion through the pre-Trib portals. When the nation, through court action, began removing God and Hisrighteous principles for life from the national conscience, the vacuum created a supernatural opening for the invading forces from the dark side. Here’s what Michael wrote: The United States has been in a moral freefall that accelerated in the decade of the ’60s with restrictions on prayer (1962) and Bible reading in the public schools (1963).The U.S. Supreme Court has systematically helped destroy religious liberty in America with the following 12 court cases: 1925—The Scopes “Monkey” Trial—Tennessee v.

Hodges— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obergefell_v._Hodges (Michael Hile, “The United States and God’s Judgment”) My sense of discerning the invasion we face at this late prophetic hour tells me that the evil being directed toward children is perhaps the most significant manifestationof what is pouring through the pre-Trib portals. It is concentrated wickedness, and even parents of the children seem to have lost spiritual immunity to Satan’s deadly venom. Proof that America has reached the reprobate mindset of Romans 1: 28 is clearly shown, I think, through the opinion on children rendered by the top leader in America—the leadershipposition once considered the highest in the free world: Monday’s segment of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, President Joe Biden spoke with gay man and former White House staff member in the Obama era, Kal Penn, where he admittedthat he thought restricting kids from getting their private parts mutilated was “sinful.”… “Transgender kids is a really harder thing,” he began. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean it’s terrible what they’re doing.” In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis is spearheading laws that would prohibit kids from receiving dangerous surgeries and drugs to change their gender. DeSantis recognizes thatthere are two genders and that children are not mature enough to make such life altering decisions. While his laws are evidence of him looking out for children’s best interests, the left is twisting it into an anti-LGBTQ campaign by the Republican Governor… Regardless, Biden insisted that he was looking to pass legislation that would allow transgender youth to harm their bodies and added, “You mess with that, you’re breakingthe law, and you’re gonna be held accountable.” It really is a shame that Biden is using his platform and position of power to facilitate such a grave evil in this nation. Kids need to be protected, not infected by thedisease of the woke left. (Source: Biden Calls It “Sinful” To NOT Mutilate Trans Kids,Tierin-Rose Mandelburg, Newsbusters, March 13, 2023) With such upside-down declaration, can there be any doubt that the pre-Trib portals are as wide open as America’s southern borders? ----------------------------- Destructive Culture That I�ve Seen Firsthand � ToddStrandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Nearly all of America�s problems are spiritual in nature. As we�ve drifted away from biblical values, the culture has degraded. I witnessed a demonstration of this processright here in my neighborhood. About three years ago, a black couple moved into a house across the street and one up from me. The house consisted of two unmarried adults and two daughters under the ageof 10. Because I don�t leave my house very often, it was about three months before I met them. The mother was very quiet, and still, to this day, I�ve only spoken to her once. Theman of the house, whom I�ll call Mark, was very outgoing, and I liked him very much. Mark had to clean up many problems left over from the previous tenants, who were absolute dirtbags that left the owner with $20,000 in damages. If there was a wild dog running around the block, Mark would get it captured so it couldn�t bite someone. Drivers that raced down the street could expect a tongue-lashingfrom him. Terry fell off the back porch as he was walking to the exercise shed one day, and Mark jumped over a tall fence to help Terry get up and make sure he was physically ok. He moved his brood to Benton, which is 95% white, to purposely avoid the problems of blacker communities. Mark had a close relationship with his family members, which is somethinggreatly lacking in Black America. He would have them over for major holidays. He spoke of his mother, who owned some type of cleaning business. About a year and a half ago, I asked Terry Jr. where Mark was because I hadn�t seen him in a few weeks. Terry Jr. told me that Mark was in the Saline County Jail awaitingtrial. It turns out Mark was selling drugs, and he had an underage child in the car with him at the time he was busted. Mark is about to be released from prison, but we won�t be able to ask him what went wrong. Now that he�s a felon, the owner refuses to let him live in the house. The motheris in the process of moving out of the property. The odds are stacked against Mark being able to turn his life around. One study found that 58% of blacks were reincarcerated within 8 years of being released from prison.There are 1.1 million blacks behind bars because of a drug conviction. Mark had all these good qualities, but he was taken down by a black culture that glorifies drug use. Dope-head Rapper stars are looked up to as heroes. The left constantlyblames law enforcement for the drug problem. The ACLU once called the drug war the new Jim Crow. The liberal media will rarely point out that a mass shooting was drug related. I remember in my youth watching PSAs that blamed drug dealers for destroying people�slives. Today, blaming drug dealers in the black community is viewed as racist talk. Negative culture is a key reason the city of Detroit has remained an unfixable mess for 50 years. The city has a culture of political corruption, a culture that blames racismon the city founders, and a culture of dependency on the government that prevents a turnaround. I recently watched a YouTube series on Nazi war criminals. The video gives a brief background of the person, details their horrendous crimes, and then ends with their execution.I remember one guy who murdered 20,000 with his own bare hands. As he was being led to the gallows, a priest held out a small white cross for him to kiss. He didn�t renounce his sin and ask for Jesus to forgive him; he kissed a cultural icon as if it wouldmake any difference. The priest should have taken the day off rather than lending any credibility to a monster. I don�t believe in fighting the culture war. We have so many cultures stacked on top of each other that it becomes hopeless to reach people. Christianity is viewed by manyas a white man�s religion, that it�s for the rich, a tool of discrimination, and insults LGBTQ folks. The church has been on a prolonged losing stretch because we are always reacting to these people who dream up these new cultural norms. What we need to do is return to the basic salvation message. Paul summed up his ministry as, �I preach Christ crucified.� This simple message works because once you becomea true believer, your faith will come into conflict with the world�s sinful culture. Each day we have to decide if we are going to follow our risen Lord or the world. �If you declare with your mouth, �Jesus is Lord,� and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved� (Romans 10:9). -----------------------------------------
